Dollhouse 2.0 is a long-term family home that works comfortably within its small 174m² inner city site. The design intent was to create functional flexible spaces, adaptable for a growing family. The finishes were selected for longevity to create a low maintenance "forever home".

The home is conveniently located adjacent to various active cultural hubs, allowing the planning of the home to be pared back to the essentials.

The void through the heart of the home provides visual interaction with the street, light and air throughout and access to the northern sun to warm up the home in winter.

Each of the spaces are carefully considered, many offering the ability to expand and contract for larger gatherings or changes in family dynamics. Integrated storage and furniture have also been incorporated to maximise the use of space. The design demonstrates how a small home can be liveable without compromise.
